The Road Never taking her eyes from mine, Beth reaches out, touches my cheek, and says, I want to know you, Win. I want to know it all. I want to know the road that brought you here. Then, maybe then, I can find what I need to stay here.
So begins Win's road. Ranging from humorous to downright hilarious, and winding its way from childhood, through adolescence, to parenthood, Win's road is a maze of unintended consequences and laugh-out-loud twists, turns and dead ends. As Win matures through his stories, so does his secret relationship with Beth. Their story unfolds through their stolen minutes hidden anywhere from quiet nooks in a public library to darkened corners in a honky-tonk bar.
Readers will hear echoes of Forrest Gump and Fried Green Tomatoes and will meet a cast of unforgettable characters in William A. Boyle's The Road. As Win's past moves inexorably toward the present, they will witness and feel the bittersweet rising and falling of one love story and the hopeful beginnings of another.
